When The Catholic University of America announced that the spring semester of 2021 would begin with a two-week quarantine, many students’ immediate question was: what about the March for Life?

March organizers decided to limit the number of in-person demonstrators earlier in January when the status of the march came into question. A few hundred pro-life leaders from around the country who represent the many branches of the pro-life movement took to the streets behind the official March for Life banner.

At that moment, the Catholic-Christian family began fighting a war on two fronts; one against the notorious disease of cancer, the other against the new and “improved” health insurance system created under the Affordable Care Act.
Now, more than five years later, Christopher finds himself cast in the role of critic, patient-advocate, and reformer of a system that was supposed to be in support of his daily life, not a preoccupation of it. Working with the likes of John Goodman and Michael Cannon he devotes much of his time trying to inform fellow Americans of both the intended and unintended consequences of the Affordable Care Act. He wrote a passionate and intelligent piece published on the

The
New York Times published an opinion essay by Berkeley law professor (and law school dean) Erwin Chemerinsky originally titled “Amy Coney Barrett’s Originalism Threatens Our Freedoms.” Chemerinsky took aim at the fossilizing impact of “originalism,” the conservative theory of constitutional jurisprudence that declares that only the literal meaning of the Constitution’s text, along with what we know about the “intent” of the Founders, can guide the courts when they interpret laws.
